Reporting back, @tonycraine, I’ve started learning AppleScript and found myself using it quite a lot in enhancing my everyday automations with Keyboard Maestro.
It also showed a side effect in making easier to grasp a few concepts on python (my current endeavor).
Two of my shareable projects that could benefit others both on everyday use and hopefully in helping understand AppleScript are:
-
An adaptation of @MacSparky elink TextExpander macro for using with Spark (on MPU Talk)
I’ve also managed to tie Hazel and Keyboard Maestro way further with AppleScript and look forward to having python scripts onto the game as there are many things that can be done with its text and data manipulation functions.
Finally, I deeply recommend as resources for anyone looking for good resource materials both Script Debugger app (it’s live dictionary helps understand how the items of an app relate to their information structures, thanks both to @provuejim and yourself, @tonycraine for the recommendation) and @Sal’s book on AppleScript (it’s huge, but if you follow the first chapter you’ll be ok for many things).
